Chapter 427: The Lonely Sound of the Piano
"If people don't keep Sister Kuan, you must bother your brother to send her back!" Wei Youqing nodded, which can be regarded as a promise to Hua Shengze. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Leaving Washington, Wei Youqing was in a happy mood. Not only did the purpose of entering Washington have all been achieved, but the most important thing is to make such a good friend as Hua Shengze. Wei Youqing felt that this was the biggest gain from the trip to Chu.
After the matter was completed, more than a month had passed since the calculation time, which was many days longer than the original promise of "returning in a few days" to Yue Ningyuan. Fortunately, this side is all under the eyes of Wupeng Villa, Wei Youqing doesn't have to worry about Yue Ningyuan worrying about himself.
After socializing Zhuyu Tea to Uncle Ning and Wanxi, Wei Youqing embarked on the journey home again. Sure enough, as Yue Ningyuan said, the waterway from Tanzhou back to Wupeng Villa is not the same way back. The waterway is so narrow that it is impossible for large ships to pass through. Through the chaotic lake, the hidden piles under the water appear and disappear. It is no wonder that both sides of Tanzhou and Wupeng Mountain Villa are very relieved of this waterway, and it is true that except for Wupeng Mountain Villa, no other boats can enter and exit.
In the distance, Wei Youqing saw a small red dot on the shore of Wupeng Villa, which was exceptionally clear in the thin gray mist. Wei Youqing seemed to have returned to more than ten years ago, and remembered Wu Kongyang who was standing on the shore.
When the boat approached the shore, Wei Youqing knew that the person in red was actually Ah Tao in a red cloak.
Ah Tao stood behind Hu Lingjun and Yue Qingqing, who was wearing a white embroidered robe. Duanli's melon seed face is as crystal as jade, and her snow muscles are as crystal as snow as ice. and the graceful and slender Yue Qingqing beside him are red and white, contrasting with each other.
"Ah Tao is so beautiful in red." Wei Youqing said with sincere admiration.
Ah Tao smiled slightly and squatted slightly.
Yue Wupeng did not appear in the crowd to greet him, and now the affairs of Wupeng Villa, as long as it is not a major event, is generally taken care of by Yue Ningyuan himself. Although Wei Youqing's identity is precious, he is secretive after all, and it is not the first time he has come, as a junior disciple, Yue Wupeng does not have to pay too much attention to etiquette, so as not to make people suspicious.
Yue Ningyuan and Sister Kuan greeted each other, Yue Ningyuan had already received Uncle Ning's report, knew the identity of Sister Kuan and the child in her arms, and tacitly did not ask much.
The group walked towards the hall, passing by the former misty forest, knowing that his good friend's father had died here, Wei Youqing's mood was naturally different. He couldn't help but take a few more glances into the forest, but just happened to see a few villagers carrying a large box and walking towards the forest.
"Are there people living in this forest now?"
"Yes, some of my father's friends." Yue Ningyuan refused to say more, so Wei Youqing didn't ask more. In a blink of an eye, I saw Ah Tao's brows furrowed, her expression gloomy, and she looked blankly in the direction of the forest. Hu Lingjun and Yue Qingqing looked at Ah Tao with solemn expressions, and stopped talking.
Wei Youqing smiled puzzledly: "Sister Tao, do you have anything on your mind?" ā
Ah Tao seemed to be frightened by Wei Youqing, and quickly shook her head, refusing to say more. Wei Youqing quietly looked at Yue Ningyuan, and Yue Ningyuan quietly made an innocent shaking head and spreading his hands, indicating that he didn't know what was going on.
At night, the sky of Wupeng Villa was still gray. Wei Youqing understood that the entire mountain villa was shrouded in a large array. This formation was laid out by Wu Kongyang back then, and it is still used by Wupeng Villa.
Although the guest rooms of Wupeng Mountain Resort have independent courtyards, they do not have courtyard walls, and are separated by tall and towering trees. Wei Youqing knew that these were part of the formation, and not every place of these big trees and these seemingly peaceful houses was safe, some were the door of life and some were the door of death.
The house where Wei Youqing lived was a five-room bungalow, with a hall house in the middle, and in the four wings on both sides, in addition to Wan Yu and Wei Rong, who had come with Wei Youqing before, there was also Sister Kuan and Brother Yi. The front of the bungalow is full of camellias, and now they have bloomed, yellow, white, red and green, and they are so lively.
Across the two rows of towering ancient trees, on the other side lived Hu Lingjun and his apprentices. Although Yue Qingqing returned to his home, he insisted on living with his uncle and Ah Tao.
Although there is no courtyard wall, the two houses are not far apart, and Hu Lingjun's house is not visible from Wei Youqing's house, the two rows of trees are too dense, and the canopy like an umbrella cover is entangled with each other, and the stems and leaves are connected, covering the sky and the sun.
It's just that the voice came clearly, Wei Youqing was sitting on the porch reading a book, and a pipa sound like a heavenly sound came, like a birdsong stream, as if adding a lot of interest to this quiet tree and flower. Wei Youqing closed her eyes happily.
This is Ah Tao playing the piano. Wei Youqing thought happily. I was closing my eyes and appreciating it, but the sound of the piano slowly changed, although it was still the original tune, it became desolate and lonely, full of sorrow that seemed to be too thick to dissolve.
Wei Youqing couldn't sit still, he stood up and followed the sound of the piano through the gloomy woods, and a red shadow came into view.
Wei Youqing's heart was full of lightning, and she remembered the fairy sister who shared the joy of flying with her in her sleep. But then he slapped himself in the face in annoyance, the girl in front of him was still a child, how could he have such a dirty idea.
He walked up to Tao softly and sat down gently, as if he was afraid of disturbing the girl's piano sound.
Ah Tao ignored Wei Youqing, her long curved eyes hung down, her long and thick eyelashes completely covered her eyes, and her fair and clear little hands nudgically plucked the strings, and the sound of the piano became vague, as if telling the loneliness of passing through thousands of years.
Ah Tao didn't notice that her piano sound had changed, she seemed to have been intoxicated by her piano sound, completely forgetting the outside world.
Hu Lingjun walked out of the room gently, glanced at Wei Youqing, and stopped softly: "Ah Tao, I made a mistake." ā
The sound of the piano stopped abruptly, Ah Tao stopped, and a pair of bright eyes seemed to have returned from ancient times, and they had regained their former brilliance. She bowed slightly to Hu Lingjun and said, "Yes, Ah Tao will play again." ā
"Playing the piano is to express affection, what's wrong?"
Wei Youqing watched her adjust her thoughts to start playing again, and couldn't help but persuade her.
The corners of Ah Tao's mouth rose slightly, smiled, and said, "Ah Tao is already well, and she can play the piano well." ā
"Take a break!" Hu Lingjun said, "I've been playing for so long, I'm tired, no wonder I get distracted." He glanced at Wei Youqing and said with a smile, "Let Youqing tell you a few jokes to make sure you're refreshed." ā
"Youqing?" Ah Tao looked at Wei Youqing and asked, "Isn't my brother's name Le'an?" ā
"Le'an is my nickname." Wei Youqing replied, "Only Sister Ah Tao is happy, and she can call her by any name." ā
